Hacking What's the point?

If AK2i works on all Ds systems, then what's the point of getting AK2.1?

If AK2i works on all Ds systems, then what's the point of getting AK2.1?

Because typically they are cheaper.

There are those who have no interest in the DSi. The DSi's extra features can't be used by flashcarts, you also lose SLOT-2 and the pressure sensitive screen.

The issue has been complicated by the AK2.1 bad batch. Now you should be buying the AK2i regardless. Some retailers have dropped the 2.1's altogether, guess they are fed up with the returns.

The Acekard 2i is a much better choice. It is essentially the same as an AK2.1, but it has better build quality and works on the DSi. The only reason the AK2.1 exists is because it was made before the DSi.
If you're deciding between the two, buy the Acekard 2i. It is only $2-$5 more.
